Hitzl's come out

[karneol_vision]

Ah, my single greatest love in German football beside Oliver Kahn - Thomas Hitzlsperger.
You know what I tentatively said ages ago? Of course I was being stupid right then, but still.

Good luck with your report! *hugs*

[karneol_vision]

Thank you! I'll need it *hugs*

Well done to Hitzlsperger, too. :-) (I didn't include this in my original reply, because I wanted to be absolutely sure that this was exactly who you were referring to!)

Haha! That's why I added his name at some point. I thought it was a bit inexplicit :)

I just saw about the coming out on a Dutch news site. Good for the man, but what a pity he had to struggle for so long against himself.

Also good to hear from you. Now I read about you being alone in your own flat, I realise I never managed to do that, I went from home to a couple of places I shared with other people (though I had a room of my own for the whole of 2 years in the total of my 52 years) and after that I went straight to living with the person I'm still with.

But I do get you about all that work. Because I write I'm always at home and that means distraction after distraction, and still missing out on fandom and such.

True, though he seems happy and satisfied now, and he's got a great many years before him yet. I read today, in an interview with Joachim Loew, that he was thinking about coming out before the Euros 2012, but reconsidered in the end.

I find that nice. It's not always great to live alone. Personally, i have trouble to make it a 'home'. It's vacant and I don't feel like getting or doing more than I absolutely need or have to. I'm obviously no one who settles or nests, although I wish for it so bad. And living with other people makes places more homely, I suppose. The more if it's people you love. In the end, I suppose this is truly what makes a place a home. As corny as that may sound, lol.

Indeed, too many distractions x/// and it doesn't help that I am lazy by nature :(((

May I ask a question? Do you truly still feel like you're interested in the fandom (e.g. football slash)? Or is that sort of fading?

[sophiamoon]

Interesting question. It's there and it's not there. I'm mostly here because I care about the fellow fans, even if it's only just for reading they are doing fine and say hi to the familiar names. I watch football, oddly enough, and when I see my brother we happily talk about how Feyenoord is doing in the Dutch competition.
But, things have changed and they wont change back. That's life, I guess.
And you?

I read about it in Tumblr and actually I went to elgrafico.cl to check out if a Chilean media put it into the spotlight.

Hitzl wasn't so notorious as the rest of the crew ( I think ) but with this he won my heart (well... he won my heart before but now even more)
I was so happy that I jumped and I screamed loud xD... even I almost cry. I am so happy and cheerful for him... because I dreamed this moment since the day 1 I opened this LJ account.
Peace!

It is a good thing and there are no two ways of seeing it :)) There are enough LGBT people who struggle with their sexuality, so of course it's great every time someone famous gives a positive example, no? :) The fact that I always liked and respected him just makes it nicer for me personally, it makes me feel prouder on a more personal level, if that makes any sense. I mean it's always that way, I like someone and they turn out gay xD Just kidding.

Well, maybe will be not so epic as the one featured in "Bridge" but even with humbleness is a great moment. I cried when I watched Tom Daley's vid. He was like freestyling his speech a lil'bit and his voice tone was so cute :D I loved it a lot!

Maybe the next one can be a Southamerican..... :D <3 who knows?
